I don’t get why they’d risk going down with a lack of investment? They’ll lose so much next may6

Carter could learn a lesson from Bolton in building sustainably. They got promoted with a top end L1 squad and are capitalising on the momentum while keeping back some money to spend if needed. We got promoted with a mid table L1 side and have had to attempt to overhaul it three times since promotion nowAthletico Charlton said:ForeverAddickted said:Athletico Charlton said:

We just lost to a Bolton team who have spent massively less than us over the last 2 years. We have no injuries. This is on Jones and Chapple.Whoopdie-Doo... Did they suddenly realise that you don't get rich from owning a Football Club?They should have realised that losses of £25m was always going to be likely... Don't like it... Don't get involvedHow is this on Jones / Chapple when we spent £15m (likely TV money) last summer on trying to get the squad up to scratch for life at this level, and by doing so having to gamble on League One talent, which hasn't worked... and then they've had to do it again this summer (when it barely worked last time) on about £2-3m... You really think that is enough investment to compete at this level?The owners want out, they've seen Jones manage it without little of their investment again, and expect him to work miracles a second time, even a third time if you take into account that the team that got promoted from League One had absolutely no business achieving that.We've lost to a Bolton team tonight that was US last season, that were Oxford the year before... Once teams work them out, they'll be struggling to stay above the dotted line between now and next May, and will probably copy what we're doing this year, what Oxford did last year come May 2028 if they survive
Bolton spent about £2.5M this summer. They are not "us" from last year. Get a grip.7 -

Carter needs to go back to doing what he does well which is giving insights on semiconductors. You cant become a senior sports leader in 12 months - some of the decisions that have been made in the last 12 months absolutely beggar belief.fenaddick said:

DamoNorthStand said:AberystwythAddick said:Just the whole thing stinks. The overcharging for a substandard product. Then rolling out Carter to say actually you’re paying the right amount.Another group of chancers
I dont get that appointment.... doesn't support Charlton and never did for starters. No qualifications to take on a senior sports role. Farcical.
Are you talking about Carter? Never supported Charlton? How do you know that? Not questioning you but given you are essentially accusing him of lying to the fan base I would be interested to know your evidence (or do you mean Rodwell?).2 -

I just can't see how they manage to sell the club if the frankly ridiculous valuation that's been mentioned on here is true.

How to make your asset unattractive in 14 games!!, bunch of fucking idiots.2

I always thought Rodwell was one of these " involved in a takeover , then sods off to another takeover 3 months later" types.DamoNorthStand said:

Only at Charlton could you get wealthy owners take over the club( knowing unless you get to the prem you will lose money) but decide not to speculate. The last two seasons have just been pissed up the wall, just making mugs of the fans again, time wasting bullshitters.7

The buck stops with them. Rodwell and his wanky hair and beard need to fuck off too- the shit stain.10

I don't know why anyone invests in football let alone be surprised it costs loads to run3

I mentioned to him on a recent board call that he could take look at us (I have got plenty of investors who could buy CAFC out with their lose change)....... and he looked at me like I had gone cuckoo. Probably lucky he didn't put in a vote of no confidence on me tbh off the back of that!4 -
Gavin Carter was ChicagoAddick on here ? If so was posting for years0

Once again you echo the thoughts I've held for some time, Damo.DamoNorthStand said:Bumping this because I know the NJ one will get all the attention (for good reason)..... but we are absolutely all at sea in terms of senior leadership and ownership.
We are so woefully under-equipped to operate as a Championship football club. Literally the set up is embarrassing.
They are totally unwilling to accept any help of advice from the outside world. No investor worth a jot will take them seriously.
Totally and utterly abysmal.
There was so much potential for our club's progression following promotion & the hard fought battle to stay in the Championship last season ...and now with lack of ambition & reluctance to put their money where their mouths are, once again we've been let down big time by overseas owners.
Shafted even, as has Nathan, and this proud club's faithful supporters in the manner in which they are "running" (ruining ) everything- with a " we know best " attitude.
Well, guys, the only thing you know how to do is run this club into the ground, both on & off the pitch.
And with one of his huge, hairy hands on the tiller of recruitment , I'd suggest there's no need to look too far for the villain of the piece...Someone who the gaffer has had to "work with" in what I perceive may have been a very difficult scenario.
Whatever the outcome following tonight's defeat, my sympathies are for the man who deserves our thanks overall but who may inevitably be the fall guy.1 -

Finally someone talks sense. Never liked or trusted Carter from the start.. Claiming to be a Charlton fan, where was all these years before.. No one had heard of him. Charlie was doing okay! He talks sense, on the money all the time on his podcast!DamoNorthStand said:

In fact, can anyone name anything positive that has happened since Carter been in charge?
From all I can see is negitive.
CEO Failure
Mr Q Sponsorship cost the club a lot.
Commercial Falling apart
Fanzone is terrible now
Getting ride of local businesses and suppliers.
Team Failing on the pitch.
Good job Carter!1 -
The fact Charlie was happy to ratchet up and take the piss with big bar bills stuck to the club means the fella is a piss taking cock .
just cos he talks smoothly and well doesn’t mean he’s the correct fit for us

Not sure Carter is responsible for the lack of investment and the diabolical recruitment, terrible tactics etc etc3

They will find it was easier to buy the club, than it will be to sell it.6

He’s probably on £250k, he’ll stay here until something better comes along, or he pushed.MarcusH26 said:
